Thanks for the tips on pig farming ....

You are right about one thing rehctub, consumers will ultimately decide the fate of farms in this country.

"as they simply will not pay for what it is you are wanting." Its not what I want, its what I do and demand is insatiable.

The pigs industry has been operating behind closed doors for so long that consumers are now realising that they have not been getting what they thought they had paid for - wholesome, humanely farmed meat.

The boot is going to be driven in hard to the pork industry this week. This latest outbreak is sending people into a frenzy. Media is driving it and will add to the woes with Jamies Saves Our Bacon this wednesday night. I believe there is also a big australian story yet to be screened.

Tell what you know about Paylean or Reporcin. The australian pork industry is propped up on it yet these drugs are banned in over 160 countries. Smithfield foods stop using it 3 weeks before they send a shipment to china yet in australia, there is only a 12 hour withholding period. Would people be happy to pay a little more to know they are not comsuming these drugs?
